James IV crossed the Tweed at Coldstream Ford on 22 August 1513 with the largest Scottish army ever assembled — estimates range from 30,000 to 60,000 men with a modern artillery train. The crossing was contested by English border levies but the sheer scale of the Scottish force swept resistance aside. James then seized the English border castles of Norham, Etal, and Ford before moving to Flodden Hill to await Surrey.
